Bottoms up!

One of the most effective procedures for the rear end is buttock
lipostructure. It ensures natural results but, of course, it is
only feasible when there is excess fat to remove. The treatment
starts with a liposuction where needed (buttock contour or tummy).
The harvested fat is appropriately treated then re-implanted to
plump and model the central, upper and external parts of the
buttock to create an attractive profile and rectify any lack of
volume. I advise caution when using hyaluronic acid to avoid the
risk of "lumps". Sometimes the best solution is to do specific
exercises to tone the buttocks.

My favourite exercise for super-toned buttocks is the squat, the
best for the muscles of the lower limbs. It's for all ages and it
may look simple but it isn't. A seemingly basic movement hides a
world of details which ensure perfect execution. The secret is to
keep your weight on the back of the foot so you can raise your
toes. Lower yourself as if to sit on an imaginary chair, lowering
the bottom to just above knee level. Then pull yourself up, keeping
the abs taut and tightening the buttocks; the knee must stay loose.
The thing that makes squats so good? They target thigh tone,
especially the quads.

Cellulite and wrinkles: "female problems" affecting at least 20
million over-15 Italian women fighting orange-peel skin and
virtually all the over-30s preoccupied with crow's feet. Two
problems which have more in common than we may think. Many of the
things that cause them are the same (alteration of the interstitial
matrix that fastens together the cells; reduction of blood
microcirculation in the capillaries; and an increase in skin
acidity) and they can both be treated by the same technique:
Endospheres. The facial version uses the same method adopted for
beautifully sculpted buttocks; it increases tissue oxygenation and
nourishment and naturally regenerates collagen and elastin. That's
not all: the technique promises to promote natural muscle
relaxation, producing an effect similar to Botox.
